When I doodle (only in polite company), I’ll often just squiggle a few lines to start and then develop something from there. Usually, I end up with some sort of humanoid beasty, but occasionally I get to take a break and draw other things.

David’s Star originated as one such squiggle and soon I had this “dude” in the middle of an empty page looking like he was holding something while at the same time doing a bit of a sprint. And the hair!

Next came the star… and that was followed quickly by three shepherds. And of course, where you have shepherds, you have to have sheep. Top it off with a township on a rolling hillside (I am sure that there is a manger in there somewhere), and an incidental crescent moon and viola!
